Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch without evidence claims opponent knelt during national anthem

GLENDALE - GOP Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch on Monday accused her opponent of kneeling during the national anthem at a public event last month but said she did not see it herself and was unable to name any witnesses who did.

Mandela Barnes, the Democrat seeking Kleefisch’s job, said he hadn’t knelt and that she was lying about him.

“This is like me saying my neighbors saw her buying a tiki torch at Menards,” Barnes said in a text message.

They aren’t having it in her comments.
